[quote=JOHNNY512,358868]NASA said on February 11 that a US communication satellite collided with a deserted Russian satellite over northern Siberia, knowing both satellites out of the sky. The debris effect may threaten other satellites. The impact on the International Space Station is unknown. The Cosmos class often is a bit of a mystery, as the name is a generic reference for otherwise-unidentified Russian satellites. What was onboard the Cosmo satellite was unknown. In 1978, Cosmos spy satellite 954, carrying an onboard nuclear reactor, crashed over portions of Canada. Russia's old Mir space station break-up gave the world plenty of worries when it finally fell back to Earth in 2001. It was the largest chunk of space debris ever to impact back on Earth. The reasons for the collision has not been reported.[/quote]
